for the most part!
actually, i should not have said that.
the 14 year old he allegedly had sex with was years ago, and he was acquitted of all charges. the childporn conviction reported no ages regarding his 'victims'.

Well he has obviously done nothing wrong then...
Lets release him, in fact I want him to babysit my child.

you do realise what 'acquitted' means, right?
whether you let him babysit is your business - i only have issue with screeching to the media in a panic about a 'crime' that involves pictures (or drawings, for crying out loud) of people. has he harmed a person?

Why the fuck does how often you see them have anything to do with it?
You seem to be a very confused person, and defend your morally weak argument by judging me. Look i can do it too postbear! Are you a Sun reader, did your starsign tell you to condone child porn?

morally weak?
you're claiming that owning a picture ought to be a crime. please grow up.

i think what he means is the way the picture was put into existance.
children being tortured and forced into fuck pics.
other than this i have agreed with all your points.

i asked him/her about that twice already, with no reply.
that's one example of child porn. it could be a drawing, or a photoshop or a kid in the bath pic - we don't know, but they're all childporn in certain eyes.

i think a drawing or photoshop isn't so bad myself.
as long as no one is harmed i don't care what they do.

so if you found 4000 drawings/pics whatever of naked kids
on a friends computer, you woudln't think twice.
He must just like downloading stuff...

i have about 250 000 pics of people on disc.
many are nudes, some of them are children. some are of people i know, and some are of strangers. i also have about 100 000 pics of plants and landscapes. should the tabloids be scaring people that i'm about to come to their yards and fuck their trees?

I never said that,
I'm saying that owning '4000' pictures of child pornography is worth investigation. What the shit does 'grow up' mean anyway, really? We are not in a school playground.

grow up means just that - grow up.
you made a lame joke and i made an absurd wish in response. when asked about it by another poster, i replied, explaining my dissatisfaction with a public witch hunt. knowing exactly NOTHING about the actual ages of his victims, you've proceded to take the stance of a deeply offended person for no perceptible reason.
further, you've carefully avoided questions about the nature of the pics that he had, when that is entirely pertinent to the fact of whether or not he's any sort of sex criminal in ACT and not merely FANTASY.

Well thanks for clearing that up, we can all go and 'grow up'......?
Here are your pertinent facts that I have not 'carefully' avoided:
1999 Glitter arrested with 4000 pics of child pornography (with definition, as it looks like you need to have it spelt out for you.)
Again: In late 2005, Gary Glitter was arrested and charged with molesting two under-aged girls, aged 10 and 11.
Sounds to me like you are the one living in a fantasy world.

oh good grief.
arrested, charged and not prosecuted = innocent, not guilty. got it?
and a wikipedia definition has no meaning under the law of any country - the laws vary, too, from place to place and over time. what is legal where you are may be illegal here, and vice versa. to add hilarity to this, the very first sentence of the wiki article begins "Child pornography refers to material depicting children being in a state of undress..." which only supports my question - what is the nature of the pics he had? Were they just naked pics or drawings or silly-ass photoshops, or were they actually porn pics featuring underage kids?
we don't know! further, in my mind (and in the minds of many people, some of whom are posting here and some of whom are on the forefront of this legal issue), possessing pictures of illicit acts should not necessarily be a crime.
please don't try people by their wikipedia articles. it's just not... sane.

i don't care what porn people look at.
are you saying it should be illegal to look at a drawing of a child or a nude baby pic? or only illegal if it gets you sexually excited?

I think the idea is that pornography with children in is illegal to own, as it funds/endorses the creation and systematic sexual abuse of children.
That seems fairly logical to me, in the same way snuff porn and such would be illegal.
Though they do seem fairly content in pushing through with this stupid new law which would essentially cover everything from those ridiculous pictures they did in Brass Eye, to lolicon type hentai.

i can think of about two thousand pics i've seen on b3ta that would be covered, too.
we're in a place where it's not easy to draw a line, and, unfortunately, the people eager to draw that line tend to be people i don't want making any decisions for me.

I fail to see the difference between manipulated and drawn images, and using your own imagination.
Other than the fact that it's a tangiable thing, but ultimately it's still the same old thought policeism.

I can see what you are getting at but I'm talking more about the specifics of Glitters case...
"Glitter was arrested and charged with molesting two under-aged girls, aged 10 and 11."

prosecutors dropped the charges due to lack of evidence.
so, he had some 'porn', the nature of which is unknown to us.
